Lyrics
One, two, three for superman,
Come and catch me if you can.
If we catch you, you must do
Just whatever we tell you to.
Maybe I will, maybe I won’t.
We’ll shampoo your head
With a brick if you don’t.

Now you’ve got me,
What’ll I do?
Make out you live
On Park Avenue.
Roses are red
And vi’lets are blue,
Make out you live
On Park Avenue.

My father’s name is Rockefeller.
He shovels diamonds in the cellar.
He’s got a hankie made of gold,
To blow his nose when he gets a cold.
Hey! Diddle Dee! Hey! Diddle Derry!
Hey! Barbarebop! Hey! Barbarebop!
Hey! Barbarebop! Your mama’s canary!

One, two, three for Harold Teen,
Of you catch me, you are mean.
If we catch you, you must do
Just whatever we tell you to.
Maybe I will, maybe I won’t,
We’ll shampoo your head
With a rock if you don’t.

Now you’ve got me,
What’ll I do?
Give out like a deb
On Park Avenue.
Roses are red
And vi’lets are blue,
Give out like a deb
On Park Avenue.

I am a deb named Gloria Jinx,
My hair is bleached, my perfume stinks.
I drink champagne with rich old clucks.
And get my face in the ads for Lux.

Hey! Diddle Dee! Hey Diddle Dash!
Hey! Barbarebop! Hey! Barbarebop!
Hey! Barbarebop! My Father’s mustache!

One, two, three for Donald Duck,
If you catch me I’m outta luck.
If we catch you, you must do
Just whatever we tell you to!

Now you got me,
What’ll I do?
Do like a gent
On Park Avenue.

I’ve spent the night in a gambling house,
I’m known around as Joe the souse.
